Just as the economy has leading and lagging indicators, so does social change. Events that pick up significant under-30 participation are a leading indicator, for sure.

Among lagging indicators, the MSM places next to last. Even its audience — we Boomers — are freaking old and out of it. Newspaper reading is a geriatric habit — no young adults get ink-stained fingers anymore from flipping the gray pages of the Slimes.

Here's what happens when leading indicators slam head-on into lagging indicators — CHAOS!

A Brown University student was apprehended by Brown University police last night after allegedly throwing a green pie container filled with what appeared to be green whipped cream at a New York Times columnist who had been invited to speak to students about energy.

The two rushed the stage with the pies, and then threw fliers into the crowd which aired their criticisms of Friedman’s views on the free market and climate change. Thomas Friedman ducked the pies, which were thrown by two people who rushed the stage just after he stepped to the microphone. He avoided the brunt of the contents, stepped off stage for a few minutes, and returned to deliver his speech.

Damned green fanatics! Maybe this is what upset them:

"Ann and Thomas Friedman live in Bethesda, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. The July 2006 issue of Washingtonian reported that they own 'a palatial 11,400-square-foot house, currently valued at $9.3 million, on a 7½-acre parcel just blocks from I-495 and Bethesda Country Club.'"

So the accountant labels his accountant baskets. Accounting, the profession that masks at least or more as much it illuminates, depending on who pays the accountant, and how much. Similarly, stock appraiser, home appraiser, congressmen, lobbyist. What a joke.

The only thing funnier is the insurance industry.

And the boys without legs.

Is there a reason that you ridicule so much?

I'm an accountant that is committed to candor, in all respects that I conduct any accounting of anything.

There is a difference between candor and condemnation.

Condemnation constructs humiliation. It is too great an irony for those that claim to be seeking the greater good, to adopt condemnation and ridicule as their means to that.

Whether that is Norman Podhoretz, Phil Weiss, Richard Witty, or Charles Keating.
